Comment on Why 3D-Printing an Untraceable Ghost Gun Is Easier Than Ever (Podcast 18mins)
theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoFactually, they searched his bag when they arrested him, put the bag in a police vehicle, drove for some time, then searched his bag again off bodycam, and that’s when they “found” the ghost gun in his bag, which, without a serial number, is conveniently impossible to prove it was not planted.

Funny that they never deny the gun was his, just that the search was unconstitutional.

Almost like the lawyer thinks “they didn’t follow procedure” is an easier legal argument than “the police dept is trying to frame my client”.

The gun isn’t the only evidence. All they’re doing is drawing attention to the fact that it was his gun by not denying it was his and trying to get it excluded from evidence. Even if they win this argument and get the gun excluded, they’ve basically confirmed that the gun was his in doing so.

Is that a fact? Are you sure? Will you recant if it comes out that the police did, in fact, plant it?
Nitpick the lawyer’s phrasing all you like; it won’t actually change any of the facts of the case, whatever they may be. Myself, I’m not going to jump to “why bother having a trial? The police arrested him; he’s clearly guilty as sin” based on a Lemmy comment!

There’s no reason to deny invalid evidence

It does if you want people to believe the gun wasn’t yours. The gun isn’t the only evidence, and not denying it’s yours but trying to get it excluded from evidence confirms that it was yours and you’re trying to hide it.

Good thing that’s not how evidence or the justice system works 😝
